Shell Island Snorkel and Dolphin Catamaran Cruise with Island Time

Overview
The 3-Hr Shell Island Snorkel & Dolphin Cruise aboard the Island Time Sailing Catamaran is a great way to have fun in the sun and enjoy the best of what Panama City Beach has to offer! Cruise over to Shell Island where you and the whole family can snorkel to find exciting shells and sea life, swim up to the island to explore or paddle board around the boat. After about an hour you will depart the island to head out to the Gulf for sightseeing and dolphin watching and sailing! The cruise ends with contests and dancing. We offer 2 different catamarans for this trip. They are very similar, but have a few differences. The "Island Time" is equipped with a water slide and no over the water nets. While the "Island Time II" has over the water nets located in the front of the boat and no water slide.  (Please note: This tour departs from Panama City Beach, FL, which is about 3 hours East of Pensacola.)

Me and my wife's first time sailing and snorkeling. They Captain and crew were wonderful and very nice. The boat was great. We loved the rum punch. We saw several dolphins up close and loved the snorkeling. We had a great time and will do it again next time we visit Panama. Highly recommend it.

Though we did have a fun expensive, there was really nothing to see besides a few hermit crabs and one star fish at shell island. I would suggest that some sort of slip resistant material be put on the stairs between levels, I took a nasty fall down those stairs ended up with scraps and bruises on my back and elbow

Glad to hear that you were able to find some hermit crabs and a star fish. Sometimes the sea creatures really make you have to hunt them down! However, most times they are pretty easy to find. I am truly sorry though that you slipped and injured yourself on the stairs. We will definitely take your feedback into consideration to ensure customer safety for the future. Get well soon!
